Henry,

High platelets are unusual in MDS, but pretty common in ET as Neil suggested, it is also common in myelofibrosis, which is considered a matured version of ET, so it usually has other factors included such as anemia and fibrosis in the bone marrow. Also, there are a handful of chromosomal abnormalities that show up.
